Papers Please-People of Color; Papers Please

Rachel Maddow extended an invitation to Goldie Taylor to deliver a guest editorial on TRMS. While artfully slicing and dicing Donald T Rump for his birther-based racism and egotistical ignorance, Ms Taylor forcefully presents a personal story that reaches back into the nation's darkest history of intolerance and bigotry. The full story can be found here http://www.thegrio.com/politics/why-obama-shouldnt-have-had-to-show-his-paper... You can Tweet her @goldietaylor or me @longshoremaniam

WOOOOOWWWW I love it-------Thanks Rachel-----I sent it to all of my friends. All people of color need to understand where Trump stands. Trumps involvement in Lefrak city and hosing for us in general also needs to be revisited. We also need to boycott his show the Apprentice to drop his rating and have it removed from T.V. -----We recognize Nene Leakes and Star but I'm sure they will understand-------besides they are not on the show anymore. Thanks again Rachel.

DONALD "CHUMP" IS THE BIRTHER'S NEW LEADER. THEY ARE ALL RACIST AND WANT TO TAKE A COUNTRY BACK THAT WAS NEVER THEIRS IN THE FIRST PLACE. SOME WHITE FOLK CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT THERE IS A BLACK MAN IN CHARGE OF A COUNTRY THAT WAS ALWAYS HELD BY WHITE MALE PRIVILEGED . THIS BLACK MAN, PRES O, IS WELL EDUCATED, A FAMILY MAN UNLIKE DONALD WHO HAS HAD MORE WOMEN THAN ELIZABETH TAYLOR HAD HUSBANDS. AND COME TIME TO VOTE, THIS FOOL DID'NT EVEN KNOW WHERE HIS POLLING PLACE WAS....LOL

Every president had to show their birth certificate since the turn of the 20th centry. Why did obama feel like he was above that? Why not just show it as required. Why did you feel the need to fuel the fire? Get him off the basketball court and start fixing the mess he created.

[tll39564]

No, we all have to show papers/ID. Blacks don't want to be ID'd because of earlier run ins with the law.

@tll39564 really this is your silly way of twisting words

This was awesome. While I don't support Pres Obama on many polices, as I find many to be destructive to the poor, and 3rd world, the racism he experiences is totally unbelievable and saddening. This video was an eye-opener as I hadn't considered the historic significance of the "birther" movement as it relates to Pres Obama. Seems America, and Fascist systems, will never let racism die, thus oppressed people need a more loving nation/home...

SO CRAZY BUT IT'S TRUE, WHAT A SHAME. THINK THEY WOULD HAVE EVER ASKED BUSH OR MC CAIN TO DO THAT?

[coolnamvet]

...of course it does and always will

Thank you! #dumptrump I didn't know Trump was so ignorant--very disappointing. Everything Goldie said was truth. President Obama & first lady Michelle are wonderful examples of American values.

@unit7531 :

If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if

the U.S. citizen parent has been "physically present"[6] in the U.S. before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and

at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent's fourteenth birthday. = citizen at birth 8 U.S.C. § 1408 as defined. Natural Born isn't , but is separated for potus eligibility.

At best , he is legally a " CITIZEN AT BIRTH" = Ineligible

[unit7531]

@EDOGZ818 what is a "Natural Born Citizen"? I think you are totally confused about what natural birth is.
